Seal - Crazy
Simply Red - Stars

Да бля Фанаты КЛФ всё ещё живы?
Yup and close ups are the beginning of those innovative pop stars right said Fred and Kim Wilde! Introduced by Simon Bates 😳.
The words mainstream doesn’t even come close. Thank Christ the Mercury music prize came along and we had a semblance of an alternative.
This was another brilliant chance to protest, and this time it was the music industry, previously there were protest banners in the roof of earls court during the motor show, the starting point for change that brought you reclaim the streets and spiral tribe,
Yeah but they gotta keep the metal heads happy. There’s no way this just happened without soMeone green lighting it
I love that it's STILL GOOD. Like they didn't just try to freak the audience out for a laugh. They gave a completely unknown band the most hilarious and exhilarating 15 minutes ever, then it turns out it's not just them and Bill created an actually fantastic and passionate thrash song, FOR THE AUDIENCE. For them to FEEL. And to ENJOY.
Even at their most venomous they are fundamentally about unconditional positivity and celebration.
Hardly 'completely unknown' - ENT were highly influential and frequently played on Radio One (John Peel).
This is the most based 3 minutes in music history.
What the fuck does that mean? Based on what??
@@robertloader9826Word's around since 2011, look up Lil B if you care for the etymology but gah dayum there's a 8 year old video of JOE ROGAN finding out the meaning there is no excuse to be this unaware of popular culture my guy
Can you imagine this now in our tightly controlled musosphere? This was genius stuff
I love how they all clap at the end as if they liked it!
3:13 yeah, she definitely approves :D
skylaxx ha ha she was looking around wondering what the fuck was all that about
Oh gosh, we are still British darling....
Bravo!
They all look totally bemused. Well, except Billy Bragg. He totally got it!
@@throwback19841 What, genocide enthusiasts?
Ladies and gentlemen. The KLF have now left the music business... 🎤⬇️
When I leave the house I put this on loop, not burgled yet
LMFAO
Arguably the greatest satirical music act ever made. The only equivalent I can think of nowadays are the KLF.
The Brass Eye of the music business
@@1000sofusernames if chris morris and bill drummond ever teamed up...just imagine that!
DEVO were up there for satire but they never pulled off stunts like this.
Well... 2021 and they're kinda back!
Even now that performance is way ahead of the curve
I would love to see something like this now. The 21st century consists of emotional pussies. 🖕
This is beyond brilliant. The whole philosophy of what the KLF actually was is fascinating
Aural/Visual anarchists.
Read the book by John Higgs. Quite an insight.
@@1000sofusernames fantastic book
What I love is that no-one in the audience got it, except perhaps for Billy Bragg. I wonder if this is what inspired him to terminate his lucrative contract with Go! Discs later that year and buy back the rights to his back catalogue with what remained of his advance.
discordianism
The intro to this programme is exactly why the KLF HAD to do it!
Machine gunning the audience... Now that's how to retire.
Totally. That joke would probably not be very well received today, because of erm... gun toting reasons.
@@Koettnylle well, there's always a safe space to retreat too.
@@tbrasc0 Let's hope so
@@JackSwanns I watched that. Silly silly boys. They all regret it now I bet.
I hope this is an ironic comment @@VanderlyndenJengold
I love how halfway though Bill can't help but laugh and how stupid they are being XD
I think he laughs because he run out of air. He was singing/rapping too fast and with too much effort probably because he was not used to play with a punk band often. (the guys at Extreme Noise Terror are growling but that requires a steady technique). Not because it is stupid. It is trolling, but it is serious. Extreme Noise Terror is one of the most influential bands in punk rock.
I reckon he saw someone he knew in the front row who's face probably demonstrated what a large chunk of the crowd were thinking.
@@search895probably six of one and half-dozen of the other. Bill is a very enigmatic guy!
If there ever was an epic moment in music this is up there at the top!
Eeee.... nothing like a nice heartwarming video to watch with your grandma, whilst eating cucumber sandwiches and singing along to the happy memorable tune .....
Their story is fascinating and bizarre, I love these guys
Simply burning the money they hadn't spent on their projects when the KLF ended and being unable to explain why because they didn't know themselves was one of life's perfect moments.
Watched this live and knew there was something up as soon as they mentioned it was KLF with ENT. Still didn't expect it to turn out how it did.
such a formal start only to be torn asunder, I love it XD
The KLF have left the music industry.
Bill Drummond always was a musical absurdist and this was both puzzling and brilliant at the same time!
You've nailed it on all three counts, I've watched the doco 'Who killed the KLF?' over and over and the thread that flows through it is Bill's ability to 'create the myth' if you haven't seen it I thoroughly recommend it
@@izzzzzzzzzzzie seen it...its brilliant and whilst you get an idea of how Bill's mind works, he'll always remain an enigma
Which is wonderful, especially in this day and age when every waking moment of a celebrity or singer is presented and scrutinised!
The curtain going down at the end...like a muppet show.
lmfao!
Dam. You beat me to it
That's pretty symbolic. If you listen closely, you will actually understand what they say "Ladies and Gentlemen, the KLF has now left the music business".
And they have with this show.
@@0x777 And on 14th May 1992, the KLF announced they were disbanding and deleting their back catalogue.
30 years on and this is still THE BEST !!!
The KLF ... have left the building.
this never gets old
Ipswich legends extreme noise terror, john peel was at their gig in 88 in Ipswich, he played them alot on his show at the time.
i wish we still had a presenter like him
Just found my new favourite alarm clock song! Nice!
Reminds me of Atari Teenage Riot's Brixton gig. Well worth a listen. Read the sleeve notes too.
The second movement was delightful. Bravo!
It's one of my favourite pieces.
It's 3AM....3AM.....3AM.....ETERRRRRRRRRRNALLLLLLLLL..............ETERRRRRRRRRRNALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone who hasn't read John Higgs book "the klf, chaos, magic and the band who burned 1million pounds m" needs to do so immediately! You won't regret it
In the UK there has always been a slight push from the music industry to keep the punk/heavy guys happy.
@John M. Not really anymore though. I wasn’t around in the early 90’s but there was this strange time in early 90’s in the U.K. where underground music popping up in the mainstream on occasions. Napalm Death performed on a show presented by Craig Charles in the 90’s. Nirvana infamously performed on Top Of The PoP’s just as they hit big.
I think the reason why the early 90’s was a time when the U.K. media was somewhat okay with showing more underground music is because of the whole Rave and underground dance scene which was huge in the early 90’s in the U.K., and you also had this weird crossover between Rave music and Indie/Punk which the band EMF and their big hit Unbelievable was like a bridge or crossover between Rave/Dance music and Indie/Punk with both scenes borrowing stuff from each other, which I suppose helped create The Prodigy.
But as well the U.K. media are very thick as shit when it comes to heavy or underground music, I think the U.K. media seem to think all heavy or underground music is the same and has all the same fan bases, so the U.K. media don’t have a fucking clue of what’s what.
@@nu-metalfan2654 i think the context is different there; extreme metal in particular is trotted out to be made fun of in Britain. Look at how Never Mind The Buzzcocks used Cradle of Filth and Napalm Death as running gags. Look at the episode of Skins that had metal in the soundtrack. Look at how Virgin Trains thought they could just *steal* a song by Carnifex because lmao who cares about actually licensing a deathcore song? Extreme metal in the UK was never taken seriously, even back then. It was a thing to make fun of.
The KLF know how to me an entrance...... hopefully they recreate that amazing collaboration with Extreme Noise Terror on The Earache Express at Glastonbury in 2017.
Hopefully that stage is there for keeps!!
What a great way to start a show. Love it :D
The chef's kiss: the dubbed crowd noise at the end 🤣🤣👍
That woman’s face at 3:13 though. 🤣
she's clapping whilst thinking, at the same time, what the fuck did just happen and why am I clapping this? she probably had a psychotic break later or either has been liberated. probably both
3:10 At least one person in the audience who wasn't a journo (or Piers Morgan) got it! Thank you, Billy Bragg!
And now we have an excellent start to 2021.
That’s the best performance they ever had on The Shits 😎
I’d wager this was probably the first time Death Metal had ever appeared on TV, anywhere in the world. I mean, the first death metal bands weren’t even around until 1989, and even in 1992 it was an obscure, underground genre.
No it was a bit before that. Death metal I'd say emerged early to mid eighties.
Napalm Death had already been on TV prior to this
Probably not the first time an extreme metal band got on tv but definitely the first time crashed into mainstream tv with such force while no one was expecting it
@@yaylah7314 And forgotten just as quickly.
eh what are you on
????????
Everyone loved it
Been listening to the John Higgs book about the KLF. I knew absolutely nothing about them and i recommend the book.
This is an awesome bit of piss taking (as far as I can tell)
Telling my kids this was metallica
wow how soccermom
@@klijiuaruiuiuasif8043 it's called football and its spelt mum
This is a classic live remix of 3am Eternal from KLF!
Read about it in Spin magazine in 92 and didn't see it until CZcams.
Whoever hired them for this gig obviously didn't know that KLF stands for Kalisti Liberation Front or what that means
Billy Bragg at the end clapping away like a gormless seal gets me every time. He has no idea what he's just seen.
That voice went on to become Goldar, A minion of Rita Repulsa.
ART, PURE ART IN A TOTALLY RAW SHAPE
This should be the soundtrack to 2021.
read about this and had to check it out
I always wondered if they'd rehearsed one of their catchy numbers before hand??
KLF is gonna rock you😂 they got the stage and choose to do this. Brave men.
I have this single!!
soundman had a real busy couple of minutes with this hahaha s/o
Always way ahead of the game and the times.
Most of the audience were clapping because they were glad it was over 😀👍
Well that was a thing that happened. This was quite the anticlimax.
I was expecting someone whipping a gun out, shocking gunfire and the audience freaking out. All I saw was a guy awkwardly waving a gun around waiting for his cue. Then (ironically) you couldn't hear the gunshots because of the extreme noise. It looked like he just waived the gun round a bit then ran off. You probably had to be there...
Never mind. Seems like they enjoyed it, so that's nice. 😁
there was an attempt
they should have mic'd up the rifle
Fucking incredible.
The BBC would’ve known this was going to happen, rehearsals etc.
def not rehearsed
Not at all. The organisers knew about the machine gun but only because Bill originally wanted throw buckets of blood over the audience and eviscerate a dead sheep on stage.
They weren't too happy with that, or with Bill toying with the idea of chopping his hand off.
Fucking mental, those two.
Brilliant
ETERNAAAAAAALLLLLLL
What's the story with the legality of the machine gun? Was it legal or not? I've heard it was illegal and smuggled into the venue. I certainly hope that was the case, it would make the whole thing even more epic. Long live Bill, Jimmy and ENT!
I heard they were props is all
It was indeed smuggled in. There's a fantastic documentary about The KLF called Who Killed The KLF? Theirs is a fascinating story!
gooooooooooooooooood seen this and remembr that was briliant
I liked the audience politely clapped at the end. So british 😅
This served as motivation for Ricky Gervais 😅
Pure gold
Need more than this, less pontificating.
Who Killed The KLF 2021 documentary, awesomeness
the klf also left a dead sheep corpse backstage when they left the show.
At 1:45 the KLF singer clearly enjoys the wreckage his performance has inflicted on the 92 BRITS.
Billy Bragg gets it
Beautifully performed
It was a helluva statement.
Love it! Anarchism, bourgeoism, comersialism, statement and formalism altogether. Sad that this progressive Blu-ray source takes away from the gritty feeling of 92 though...
Pfp checks out
More punk than punk... After years of being the music industry they came to hate it - they then did their own thing that became massive,, the biggest thing of their time then cancelled it, fucked off, burnt £1m and cancelled their back-catalogue... Genius 😉🙂 Now, you can get hold of the old stuff but still appreciate what they did, especially the book on how to get a number one that the Austrian band followed with/for Edelweiss🙂
Haha, thanks gaz!
I’ll bet whoever booked them had to leave the music industry too.
KLF never left just took a break and made a comeback in 2017, KLF are insane ! Yes much older now but still bad ass non the less.
Imagine that at the Grammys!
They buried their BRIT award at stonehenge !
Simon Bates lol
Perhaps the best thing about this is they didn't even bother to rehearse.
As I never watch the Brits,how unique I am,I never saw this live but I was reading about the other day.Who booked them to appear?
Back when the BBC didn't suck.
Maybe right!
When is the machine gun?
Watch from 2:38, shooting at 2:54
Who cares about KLF, that's fckn Extreme Noise Terror!!
chill out
And still better than sam smiths performance
The main influence for slipknot forming 😂
Sounds like the crowd at the muppets show at the end
1:00 when kenny from south park sings
Who killed the klf?
That's kool!
This still pales compared to the pairing of Samantha Fox and Mick Fleetwood
So damn cool
absolutamente genial.
Billy Bragg enjoyed it 😄
good to see ENT getting some exposure, but what is KLF ?
Wow I remember this
KLF weren't Vegan friendly
Are you talking about the dead sheep they had delivered to the aftershow party?
Wow, talk about performances you can't do today!
the "controversial" stuff of the past seems so cute and childlike now, were people that simplistic and boring that THIS was "controversial"
